Cut to a scene of Ron very gently telling Hermione "No, it's LevioSA..." as he helps her relearn Wingardiun Leviosa
now that? that's straight
Memers: *crying*
Thank you, I am now sobbing in a corner.
@@omniscientgoat Bruh.
That would actually be a great way to use the “Then vs. Now reflection trope to show how he’s learned more about magic and become a much more competent person than he was before (considering his lack of nearly any good character traits/development in the movies I think this would have been a good scene)
Beletrix doesn't count, she used the "kill a dog" cliche to inspire hate.
What dog? Oh.
@@sourwitch2340 Ohhh haha I get it now
She is a Jojo villain.
OMG, I love it
HOLY S H I T
Oh holy shit. That Hermione scene was actually bloody intense. Like wow dude. I think if I saw that in theaters I would shit myself in fear.
I felt rage at the idea of Hermoine losing her knowledge so yea I feel that
Totally agree. I would've legit HATED Wizard Punchler if he'd done that to Hermione.
After such a scene, the books would even say something about "knowledge" itself, when Hermione inevitably gains back her former skill in fraction of the time she needed before. Knowledge is not about memorizing stuff. It's about building up your brain. You may forget a whole field, but you'll need just a few weeks to get back to "remember" everything. Because it's not remembering, the logical connections are there already, you're relearning the knowledge between them.
@@erejnion I hadn't even thought of that, but yeah, it'd be an opportunity for Hermione to prove to herself and anyone else that she belongs in the wizarding world!
Yeah but this is JK Rowling we are talking about here so next book she would have wrote it off as "WeLl ThE sPeLl OnLy ToOk AwAy BaD mEmOrIeS aNd ShE oNlY hAd GoOd MeMoRiEs So ItS fInE!"
Man, playing the memory wipe card in Harry Potter would've been pretty good. Raises the anxiety level to uncomfortable heights.
And then Hermione being forced to Wipe her parents to protect them!
Oh yeah I agree. I mean, even an ancillary/side villain/grey character like Tywin Lannister conducts acts that are far more brutal, sinister and terrifying (to his enemies) than anything Voldemort ever did in canon.

In an effort to make Voldemort seem like a more hate-able villain; J.K. Rowling adds a scene where Voldemort steps onto the Hogwarts Express and declares that all Mudbloods must sit in the back of the train.
Damn, as soon as I realized where that conversation between Harry and Voldy was going, I thought, "you mad GENIUS!". It makes Voldemort soooo much more hateable.
Voldemort definitely wasn't a bland Villain, but he hit the nail on its head when he mentioned that I don't hate him as much as I do Bellatrix and goddamn Umbridge. In fact, as the plot went along, I felt pity for Voldemort, because what he was essentially doing was making sure the very prophet he was fearful of come to pass.
I wish Bellatrix got a much worse death than she got, but I was completely satisfied with what happened to Umbridge.
@@Manganization yup the farther the books got, the more relatable I found him. I always assumed that was the point because he was sposed to be what Harry COULD have become if he made the wrong decisions...
Zurrdroid it’s because it makes him more out like a bully. Any human being- HATES- to see another blatantly abuse their position of power or making less out of the other person’s reality.
@@Manganization
How could you be satisfied with what happened to Umbridge? She just got carried away, rescued, and became a villain again in the 7th book and didn’t learn her lesson at all.
@@oracle372 Umbridge is the type of person who never learns their lesson. Suffering is all she's good for.
Oh GOD you just made the most hated voldamort *EVER*
i thought he held back a bit. now imagine this. he does all that unique said, however instead of outright killing her he does the cruciartis curse to make her writhe in pain and spouts off more mockery, insulting her on every level and even hairy for being friends with her and questioning if they where actually friends or where they simply forced to be friends. Eventually he has her in so much pain that she can't get up even after he stops the curse. Then as she lies there he steps on her face and rubs his foot into it like u would to squash a bug. When hairy protests he looks at him and leans down close to hermione and says in a soft voice, "I'm just putting her right where she belongs" and then he stands up straight and points his wand at her head "and now i am going to take back what's ours" and does the obliviate spell, leaving this night but taking the past 5 years from her.
@@peachibread1983 it has been a couple of years since i last read/saw Harry Potter, but if i remember correctly that would be really out of character for Voldemort. He isn't the sadistic type, that would be more of a Bellatrix thing. Voldemort seems more like the type to get straight to the point, maybe taunt a little, enjoy his superiority, but as i remember (again, few years since i last read anything) he isn't outright sadistic. To me it seems more like the core of his personality is "I am superior" and not "x person is inferior." And while that seems like the same thing i don't think it is. If he ever uses crucio, it isn't to make the person squirm and writhe in front of him, it's to show that he can do it. If he ever does it, it wouldn't be because he enjoys your pain or because he likes using the curse. He is a narcissist that doesn't care about other people, be it their pleasure or pain. And most of all i think that Voldemort's line of thinking is somewhere along the lines of "I don't need pain to make you afraid. I alone should be enough to make you shake with terror"
But seems like a great idea if someone wanted to add more Bellatrix hate.
@@Dumixfy i wasn't really trying to stay in character i was trying to make a voldemort i could hate
His woke creator will turn him gay in no time
Capin Cruncheeze It’d be more traumatising if she lost her memory first and then got tortured and mocked. So it’d be the first thing she remembers. Her first memory would just be confusion, horrible pain and the feeling of being insulted and degraded.
Great video. To sum it up, it's not enough to make a villain generally "ableist" "sexist" or "racist", but that the villain needs to be something the protagonist (and thus the audience) personally cares about. A racist is evil, but being racist to Hermione is rage inducing.
Like, the issue is JK didnt even bother making voldy a racist guy when he was on screen (or in scene for books). Like, every exposition about voldy ever is all about how he hated them muggle bois, but his entire on screen (in scene) presence is "how can I beat the harry boi". His damn henchmen, who joined him for various other reasons that arent wizardmasterrace based, say worse things about muggles/mudbloods than he does.
tl;dr On screen voldy wasnt even that racist tbh.
@@CorwinTheOneAndOnly you could argue that Voldemort doesn't give a shit about your blood purity, since he's more focused on his personal 'superiority'. the pure blood supremacy was simply an avenue of gaining followers, wealth and established political power.
I found a channel that has a series on how Dragonball characters were written and what it did right and what it did wrong. Honestly, a lot of what’s said in this video and in this comment chain lines up with his video on Frieza (which I get the feeling that you, Feli, have seen based on your comment). If any of you haven’t, go look it up. I will post the channel name as soon as I find it again.
EDIT: Channel is ”Totally Not Mark”
Voldemort is another one of those villains that serve as what is honestly a "Mcguffin" . The hero must defeat them because they are evil, or to save the world, etc. And although the stakes get higher and higher as the plot continues, the villain is never developed to truly justify much of the hero's personal drive.
@Feli Aslan damn, thanks for the refresher on why people saying "Cell is a better villain than Frieza" are just plain silly dumb-dumbs.
did u make this video to subtly share your hp fanfiction??

New video title leaked: Jesus is a bland protagonist
the ultimate white knight
You talk shit about obi wan-kenobi again and you get the rope
Idk, he's a pacifist protag who's inherent flaw is his pacifism. That has great potential to be a great character actually. Not every protag's flaw has to be "well sometimes im evil", we don't explore the "too nice" aspect of things that often. We could actually have a jesus-based protag-kun who dies halfway thru the anime, not enough stories where the protag dies early. Basically Doctor Who but less immortality.
@@CorwinTheOneAndOnly his party of disciples has to carry on without him against the government, then at the end he comes back, roll credits
@@CorwinTheOneAndOnly hes like jonathan joestar. A perfect protagonist
First off, I just want to say that fanfic scene with Hermoine was amazing and made me hate him much more even though I only really have passing knowledge of the series (stopped after Goblet of Fire when the books were still new and never really bothered to come back to it). Secondly, never heard of AnimeLab but I'm not too into anime streaming anyway but good to know.
Most importantly, I think the reason why that guy is so bland nowadays is because we of the future view his actions as a slideshow in a classroom and not really something that happened in front of us so it's a lot more impersonal. Like someone mentioned in the comments before me, it's about the person doing something that would be relatable to the viewer. Genocide from the outside is very impersonal but if it was framed in such a way that it focused on the individuals who suffered during it, I think it'd have a lot more of an impact. That and phrases that invoke that guy have become second nature to people nowadays and have essentially lost all meaning when you're calling people on twitter "literally _____ler" or people literal "National Socialist German Worker's Party" card-carrying members. Besides that, there are a TON of really messed up people in history to pull from as well, seems a bit tiresome to base things off the same dude over and over again.
Also, great video as always.
Holy crap that would have been an insane turn for Voldemort as a villain, crazy.
I'd want it to be magic'd into an explanation that she *only* loses what she knew about magic and doesn't lose her friendships though. Either that, or she's able to recall everything she needs to know through interactions in some sorta cliche way... either way, I feel like it'd be really hard if not impossible to bring her along to the rest of the story without the long term relationships she's had with Ron and Harry.
doesn't obliviate have the ability to wipe specific things? like when Hermione left her parents I assume she didn't just erase 17 years worth of memories. only the ones that she was in.
Obliviate is rather precise, and her forgetting her time at Hogwarts wouldn't be as cruel, no, have her know what she is, what she was, and what, in voldamort's eyes, was never hers to have.
@@bohba13 Damn, that's super harsh. And perfect for a villain. xD
the frustration of knowing that she at one point knew these spells, has memories of events and using them, but can’t remember how to do so would certainly make the experience more traumatic. She would know just how much she has lost, rather than simply Obliviated outright
@@profwaldone He specifies in the video that Voldemort takes away her "wizarding knowledge" i.e. knowledge of how to cast spells, do potions, recognize herbs and such. I don't think he intends to have her forget who Harry and Ron are, and what they mean to her (about which Voldemort would probably care too less to even edit them, which fits his character).
I would prefer if Unique rewrote Harry Potter instead of JK Rowling.
Okay, I've never even read Harry Potter, I haven't seen most of the films, I mostly know the story through cultural osmosis... but that little scene you wrote gave me chills all over. Fucking brilliant, my dude.
okay I got chills at the change to the Hermione part... that would be nuts... I'm glad it didn't happen, but damn it would've been intense as hell...
It would be epic if anything else.
Like imagine her growth as a character after everything is set and done
I don't like it because it doesn't vibe with voldemorts personality. He didn't have the concept of groups and people down really well. He saw everything in terms of individuals. With all the stories about Harry being the leader of his trio, the one who did this impossible task or that, someone like Voldemort would never pay too much attention to his friends.
It's this hole in voldemorts thinking that keeps him from grasping bonds and changing viewpoints that lead to his defeat. I don't want a dramatic moment between Voldemort and any of Harry's friends because there simply wouldn't be. He'd just "kill the spare".
@@shihoblade That is why this needs to happen, to add to Voldemort's character. As he is now, as you described, he is boring.
@@cortster12 I never found him boring personally. For one thing, despite his intelligence you can see how mentally impaired he is. The Voldemort in this scenario lacks Voldemorts impairments and therefore the story has to be changed ALOT. Ultimately it was team work and Voldemorts inability to read people that ended the war. If you take that away then it becomes what? A boring story about Harry becoming "strong enough" to beat him? I liked the concept of the villain is so removed from his own humanity that he can't understand anyone nor can he understand why that is even a problem.
The point in this video still stands tho. You just described a rather pitiful and unsuccessful villain. *Do you hate him?* A villain should inspire hate (well should inspire some kind of negative emotion, hate is just a good one to choose). As he is now, hes a dumb not-even-that-hitlery guy who sommmetimes murders people. The point of this video is that hes hard to hate because all he is is just some bad dude.
Damn that WWII arc really throws you for a loop when Japan-Chan backstabbed America-kun I was *shook*
You jest but I can only picture Hetalia.
ThatUndeadLegacy maybe tell them to stop stealing territory from Britain
ThatUndeadLegacy and what’s your point?? The US told Japan to stay away from the the British territory and Japan ignored then acted shocked when the US did exactly what they said they were going to do.
I was ridiculously obvious if you paid any attention to the Japan part of the story.
@ThatUndedLegacy, alright so dropping the visage of anime, in what way is Britain one of the weakest countries in the world? The possibility of Brexit tearing themselves apart aside, as of now Britain is and has long been in the upper echelon of economic success and military might. In fact according to the Soft Power Index, it is the most influential country in the world (taking hard power into account it lags behind the USA quite a bit, but it's still number 2 ahead of the likes of China and Russia).
And this isn't a comment from some proBritain nutjob, I mean objectively Britain is one of the most powerful countries in the world. I'm Irish, I have every reason to disregard and disempower Britain, but saying thy're one of the weakest countries in the world is just so ridiculously far from the truth of reality, I have to ask what you're basing it on.
And of course I should note again that Brexit is pretty likely going to fuck up Britain's standing on the world scale no matter how it goes as it's been so thoroughly fucked at this point already. But that's neither here nor there in the assertion that Britain became a weak country via decolonization.

He also used the disc songs from Minecraft! That's really a niche one.

Would have also made for good character development for hermonie as she struggles to find herself again until they can find a way to have her regain the knowledge she lost and then she can truly appreciate the fact that knowledge isn't the only important thing in this world but that is a vital tool and she never wants to be seperate from that tool again.

Your reading is great, but it fumbles the story further on.
I think that Hermione should rather muster her courage and spout "I will PROVE to you that mudbloods can be wizards" in an attempt to "own" the slur.
To which Voldemort responds: "Prove? PROVE?! A TRUE wizard does not ever need to PROVE their power. A true wizard IS POWER! " And then proceed to torment Hermione by effortlessly countering anything she attempts to do. Perhaps even by taking away her wand as an "adding insult to injury". This utterly destroys Hermione's confidence in herself and her abilities and from that point on her arc becomes regaining that confidence - a very major change in character. War changes people and that taking away of our favorite Hermione - replacing her with someone who is NOT up to the task - that should be what makes Voldemort a good villain.
This also is a great setup to the penultimate confrontation between Harry and Voldemort when he would say to his Deatheaters gathered for - what he think is - a final confrontation between them: "I will now PROVE to you my power by destroying he who once escaped my grasp." To which Harry should respond: "A powerful wizard once told me that a true wizard does not ever need to PROVE their power" which would extremely piss Voldemort off and create the first true dent in his charisma and composure.
Well yeah, of course it drastically changes the rest of the story. That's the point. It's a huge, game-changing, unspeakably vile action that fucks with everything the reader and characters have gotten used to. That's how you hit the reader hard.

Is there any advice you could give to improve this little bit other than "it's shit, ditch it all"?
@@SGresponse Well, I think you summed it up pretty well. If there's any advice I would give you would be this: What kind of character are you writing for? Would the Voldemort that we all know laugh maniacally after saying "a wizard IS power" (oh the cringe in that line)? Don't construct a scene according what you think would be "totally rad". Construct it according to WHO your characters are. There are countless masterpieces out there with a totally forgettable plot but with incredibly well-written characters with extraordinary depth. A movie or book with a good plot but forgettable characters on the other hand will always be forgettable
SGresponse How did I get onto fanfic.net?
Touché Mr. Dinosaur.
Props on making me view Harry Potter in a positive/interesting light for the first time in YEARS.
The problem with those ultra evil villains is that they look so evil that it makes it hard to believe anyone would follow them. In history, most of those who follow evil people don't KNOW they're following someone evil.
Man, WW part 1 and 2 was great, such a shame the part 3 manga hasn't released yet
I think I saw some leaks on the internet. The EU recently realesed "article 13"? That might be the start for part 3
The sequel was better then the first one but the betrayal by Germany to Russia was to much of a movie trope
I think it's better that way. WW part 2 wrapped the series up nicely, so I think having a part 3 would just be catering to fans
gaming duck Adventures Ehh, nah, there’s this new character that they’ve been playing up for a while... The Annoying Orange some call him, it’s a very popular fan theory that he and somebody named Kim are gonna set the scene for the start of part 3.
@@iicecone The start for WW3 would be the immigration crisis not Article 13.
The best kind of villains are traitors, I think.
Limey Lassen it’s as Unique says, the more personal, the more evil he feels.
Example: Bondrewd from Made in Abyss. His design is borderline inhuman, and immediately starts doing shady shit. As you learn more, you find out he experimented and twisted children, including a two characters you’ve met episodes ago that are really nice.
As a result, in a single episode, it makes all the viewers absolutely furious. He’s not that relatable, but he makes him a personal monster.
And that’s why traitors are some of the worst, they personally hurt the characters you care about and make you feel personally betrayed.
I would have to agree, kill a turncoat before an established foe.
@@WhatIsMyPorpoise I like Bondrewd and Griffith from Beserk as villains. While they did horrible things in order to achieve their goals, you can't deny that they have sympathetic character traits. Bondrewd treats the kids like they are his own children, he encourages them and acts as a kind person. That makes his experiments even more horrific and atrocious: it's a terrifying contrast between a kind father figure and a monster that will sacrifice everyone for their goal.
Same goes for Griffith. He is a total bishonen character who is very charismatic and inspired many people. You couldn't help but like and admire him for being so strong-willed and being able to do what other people considered impossible. That's what made his betrayal so shocking. He throws away the close relationship he had with Guts and mentally crippled the woman who dedicated her life to him by raping her in front of her lover.
I think the best villains are the complex ones... those who aren't purely evil but actually have some kind of character trait that you can identify with. It's easy to create a villain like Umbridge or Jeoffrey that you love to hate. But if you feel sympathy for a villain or can understand why they are doing this, makes them more relatable and interesting. At least for me.
Voldemort's old tweets where he says the m-word
Just the idea you put up for Voldemort made me irrationally angry. Good job
Please talk more Jojo. It was nice to hear you speak on anything regarding Araki's work.
Also, that Yoda death noise was hilarious. 10/10 thank you for the vid.
That is a really interesting idea! I really like that!
Also, it's really easy to sum up why we hate Umbridge viscerally and just kinda recognize that Voldemort is bad. Very few people have ever encountered someone as pure evil as Voldemort. He's a mythic figure. However, most of us have had at least one teacher who reminds us of Umbridge. That's why we hate her.
I dont hate anybody in my life.
There are people I dislike. But hating? Thats too intense I think.
There exist those that are hate-worthy.
I actually hated my boss lol
I have yet to meet someone I hate too. Despise their character? Sure. Hate? No.
I only hate one person and I think the difference between hate and dislike is that if someone I hate were being humiliated, hurt in the most gruelling way possible I would care enough to not be angry about it. If it was someone I disliked I would help and feel anger for them since they wouldn't have deserved it. Hate is a awful thing that can only be felt towards the worst kind of people and it brings the worst out of a person when they feel it.
I hate everyone, some more than others. Its honestly just a matter of how you define hatred on a personal level.
"disliking someone" could be equivalent to petty hatred in certain cases, there are quuuuuuite a few layers to not being fond of something or someone.

After playing the final season of the Telltale's Walking Dead where literally destroys a character personality by taking their unique feature, I can see how this Voldermorts action can work.
Oh shit, yeah, that was fuckin' sick.
What character are you referring to?
I didn't even realize when you started saying the fanfiction version one I thought it was real....
i think the what made that scene you wrote work really is just how scary it makes voldemort seem. people are supposed to be terrified of him but when we watch as the audience he isnt scary hes just the bad guy. there was one scene of him that i found menacing the first time i saw it years ago (dont remember which one) which just isnt enough for a character thats supposed to ooze fear.
BEst thing about this video? Deadpan, expressionless, Dead eyed finger guns from Realuniqueanimeosaurus. Pure Gold I tell ya, fite me IRL.
Araki says the truth, making a character kill an animal like a dog can make people hate them.
Remember when this video had a thumbnail picture of angriest german man and the title: 'this guy was a pretty bland antagonist tbh'
That was a stupid title to be honest. I think this guy needs to so some serious rereading of history if he's willing to call that guy a bland antagonist. And he literally wasn't. There is a reason millions of people hated that guy. Probably because he started World War 2 and literally killed millions of people both in death camps and through war.
@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi thank god I'm not the only one who thought that.
This is actually a really good way to write him as a villain. Maybe build up to the fact that he tortures people too instead of just killing everyone, and that is why he's hated. Make the reader slowly piece together that he does this kind of thing from incomplete personal accounts of him and such. Make it so those who survive are forever scarred by his name and that's why people hesitate to say it. Then this scene would be the big reveal of what he does.
On top of that it could be a huge building point for Hermione's character. Where she learns to trust her instincts more rather than rely on her overwhelming amount of knowledge, thus showing why the hat put her into Gryffindor.
Oh wow, I never thought you'd drop a scathing indictment of PewDiePie like this.
"When I went to Hogwarts, you actually had to be brave to be a Gryffindor" This phrase by itself can break a Gryffindor. Or make him/her lose his/her shit.
Believe me, if you say to my Gryffondor friend that she's not brave, she could rip your head off without a second thought.
@people who think harry potter is a personality trait spotting
Everybody: We dont like voldemort
JK ROWLING: Oh he's gay by the way
Gay people: We don't care, this doesn't make him a better character
did she actually declare voldemort gay?
The reason JK didn’t include any gay people in her books wasn’t her fault. If she had added gay representation it would be illegal for her books to be in school libraries and their access to children would be heavily restricted according to UK laws at the time. She did her best after their release to make it a bit better and I know how it seems to just randomly announce that a character is gay but I don’t really blame her for it.

The Ministry battle woulda needed a rewrite for that to match the pacing (Sirius just died, shortly after Dumbledore arriving) but definitely a nice idea. Voldemort always appeared to be a very powerful hypocrite (similar to how H-boy wasn't any of the things he espoused) and that scene would've changed things.
Especially traumatic for Ron as well. Seeing as how he and Harry experienced the Obliviate spell through Lockheart in the second book, the emotional trauma of that event would also be another kicker for the rift between him and Harry in the next books, seeing as how Harry would have "failed to protect her after he recklessly ran after Lestrange out of revenge"

0:42 Lego Star Wars Yoda death sound.
IMO, obliviating Hermoine seems like an iffy choice past that scene. Sure, it makes for good intimidation factor, but after the scene? All it does is take her out of the story in a contrived way. I think there are better ways for this AU Voldemort to make Hermione believe she is unworthy of magic than giving her magic amnesia. (Sidenote: how strong would this obliviate be? What would it cover?) Maybe she fails to cast a spell at Voldy, he taunts her and places her under the Imperius curse, and uses the spell she failed to harm Harry in some way? Not only is she now fully aware of how her failures lead her to hurt her friends, but it also gives Voldemort a better and more immediately provable point- he is able to pull off a simple attack spell with someone else’s body bc of “his wizard blood purity”, while she couldnt. It doesnt have that Asshole Energy that taking away part of her character does, but if you want that big POS energy... just have Voldemort kill Sirius. Make Bellatrix torture/imperius Hermione so she still has that villainous impact, and give Voldemort that murdering edge.
No, the point of the video is to say that just killing things and people don't make a great villain. Torture, humiliation and taking pleasure/pride in hurting other is what make a villain hateable. Why Bellatrix killing Sirius work is because she don't face him, she killed him from behind and know what she is doing and is happy doing such a thing. Voldemort wouldn't work because he has pride, he like to face his opponent and overpower them.
Making Hermione forget her knowledge is actually the best option as this is her pride. It would be an humiliation and take away what is most precious to her.
You recover from a failure, once you dealt with the guilt and your friends support you, forgive you and help you stand again you're back and stronger because you know how to not make the same mistake.
But recovering from BEING a failure ? Way more hard. It can scar you for life, make you powerless in the most crutial moments as the fear of being a failure again take over. It can make you unable to face the opponent that hurted you because the fact that you are less than him is engraved in the back of you mind. The suffering of losing what defined you. Your biggest strengh reduced to nothing. The struggle to get back what you lost and the fear of losing it again can lead you to catastrophic choices. The obsession that can be born from this loss like it's the only thing that ever mattered and that without it you are nothing, making you forget why you fight.
Your friends now can't help you as the damage is way too personal, isolating oneself because of an inferiority complex. You need to work on yourself and to fight your own demons in order to come back. It can be solved in a variety of way while still leaving open wounds. Much more impacting for the characters. The victim need to be strong and find strengh and driving motivation and the other characters struggle by being unable to visibly help their friend. Now all characters have been impacted by the villain actions.
And on the part of writing her out of the story? That would not even need to happen. This scene is at the END of the book. So she could relearn the basics over the summer and, I don't know, have maybe Ron be her mentor over the first half of book 6. Not only would that strengthen their bond, but it would bring their interactions when it comes to wizardry full circle.
The other two are right but I think your concept would have been incredible as well.
I like the whole Obliviate idea, but I think that’d it would be best if she managed to get cured rather than having to relearn it all, because her knowledge is such an important part of her. It doesn’t have to be immediate, but her having to relearn it all doesn’t sit right with me.
@@someoneunknown7655 That's the point, breaking your heart so you hate Voldemort.
Also she could have this opportunity to learn more about how magic work and how to use it.
Holy shit, that Hermione scene explanation really got me immersed. If it would've been in the books and movies it would've been iconic.
That face reveal in the last frame. Most times when this happens, i feel a disconnection between someone's face and voice because its not how i imagined they'd look like, but i'm gonna be honest.
That face and voice match up.
Honestly more villains in media in general need more humanity and a actually character and by that I mean a friend or two. I mean look at most morally gray stories,while yes their main protagonists are suitably morally gray and you feel very conflicted about their actions but you look at villains and there's no doubt that they're the bad guys,don't you think that's a bit hypocritical? "Aw man look at our heroes,don't you feel so conflicted about their actions,are they right or are they wrong,who knows but one thing I do know is that our bad guys are way outta line,someone needs to stop them." No if your going to make a morally gray story go all the way and I know what your thinking. "Oh but villains nowadays have sad backstories and those inform whatever ideals they have." In which case congrats you've made a plot device. A plot device is defined as "any technique in a narrative used to move the plot forward" and that's basically what villains are and have always have been. I mean I know they seem like characters they walk like characters,they fight like characters,they run like characters but they don't talk like characters,what do I mean? Well let me ask you a question,what makes you like a character at first? Some of you might say the character designs some might say some badass action they did but here's another way to do it which is have them act like a friends towards somebody or friendly in general. Now I'm sure you can name plenty of villains that have that good 1st impression through methods 1 and 2 but how many through the 3rd? Not that many and why is that? I mean why I get it they're bad people but bad people make friends with other bad people all the time I mean Jake Paul has friends for fuck's sake. So it'd be more realistic and more effective. I mean how shocking would it be to see two people chatting like the best of pals and then have them murder a guy in cold blood? Pretty damn effective I'd say. Another thing you can do with these villains is that they can do one of the most evil things of all,exploit the power of friendship. I mean if they understand friendship they of course can use it to get the heroes to get them to do what they want plus if you writing a morally gray story you can have the heroes exploit the power of friendship right back on the villain and your audience will be like "Wait you can't exploit the power of friendship,that's what villains do!" So in conclusion if you write your villains like actually characters and not plot devices they become better characters,I know who would've thunk it?
I agree with you. Some writers that try doing this though, always let the change in character from friendly with others to killing in cold blood happen way too fast. The protagonist on the other hand is the lens that the viewer sees through and has more time put into what their actions do to others and themselves. The main problem, in my opinion, is how to flesh out an antagonist in a fraction of the time that the protagonist gets; it's a very difficult balancing act, and the result can make or break a story. The execution of each side's motivations is what a story is built on, and if either side is lacking, then the story as a whole is lacking.
@@jeffreysian-salas1689 I will acknowledge that is true but however I think that can be solved if you work on your characterization.
actually no, I hate the trend of "the villian always has to be morally grey, or they're bad writing".
@@robokill387 well I'm not saying it's for all stories and I actually somewhat agree.
Villains can have friends AND be vile and despicable. Have you heard of the Phantom Troupe?
Just want to say your pokemon idea for the burial system is fuckimg brilliant
This made me think of Rising of the Shield Hero, and why literally the entire fan base hates Myne.
the scene you describe in which voldemort steals hermoine's knowledge i got chills. You rewrote that scene way better.
I actually like how Voldemort doesn't really give a crap about blood purity and just uses it as a means to gain political power though.
THIS VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER. I mean I really makes Voldemort look like he cares a little about his ideology. For example in The Crimes Of Grindelwald you can see him do a speech, talk about what he wants to do and his thought, on the other hand Voldy is just like, there, people kinda know what he wants, but it looks like they're just following him because they have nothing better to do, not because they agree with him, BECAUSE THERES NOTHING TO AGREE WITH
You know what? I half knew this instinctively I think. Looking back at the stories I've written, my best villains are the ones where I don't focus on the "they killed entire cities without a single care," but the ones where I take a single death, if even a death, and make that the impact. One scene that I actually shed a tear after I reread was where I killed off one of my favorite characters. I actually had the villain laugh when he saw how it was affecting the main character, who was understandably distressed. I usually end up being a dick to my characters, thinking about it
If only JK had spent this much time on Voldemort rather than who is banging who.
Love that you used a Hollow Knight song in this, love that game and it's OST.
How do you expect me to listen to you talking when I have nostalgia flowing through my ears? Also Hollow Knight and MIA.
this was really good. and the brushes and art line gave me literal chills
7:17 "Harry begs him not to kill her " "He said he wont" Maybe the real problem here is how incompetent Voldemort is.
Handsome Jack wasn't based off of him and handsome Jack has one of the best video game villains ever.
That was a damn good scene. Plus, that sort of trauma would fit in perfectly as the payoff to an earlier scene, when they met Lockhart recovering from his own Obliviate spell in the hospital. It'd turn it into really effective foreshadowing if they showed Hermione going through the same struggles as Lockhart.
That's a very thought through scene, i'm amazed by the fact that changing one small detail would've made so much impact! :D Great video!
I am a simple man. I hear Hollow Knight soundtrack, I hit like.
Wow, yeah, that definitely works.
“When I went to hogwarts, you actually had to be brave to be a gryffindor.” I would’ve killed to hear Ralph Finnes say that.
No one:
Araki: *trying to set up new jojos villain* 1:20
A real scary villain is a relatable one with understandable motives that you can kinda get behind because of his motives and realise you could be that man but they don't make the best villain all the time
Was that Hollow knight music I hear?!
Good job.
An entire case study can be made on the music choices, the scene context, and the music's origins in this video.
Dude your scenario was fucking genius. Really went into all three characters personalities and brought out the best and worst traits to make the audience really feel the weight of the situation!
*Calls Sauron a spectacle and a sorely lacking villain*
...man, I can practically hear the Silm fans scream in rage. Even I'm pissed off a litle and I'm a Tolkien casual.
Anyway, your plot idea is absolutely god damn brilliant, bravo.
Nobody :
Jk Rowling : Ron and voldemort have intense gay relationship
JK Rowling : Hedwig is Voldemort's homosexual ex-lover.
I still don't get the point of that meme.
Nobody:
JK Rowling: Scabbers and Hedwig are getting a divorce because Hedwig ran off with the Grim
@@Mernom the point is that jkr is going crazier and adds bizarre details to the lore. Like dobby has a huge penis.
Holy fuck, this was amazing. Your use of music in this just furthers the amazement.
Holy shit... I’m speechless... god damn... please keep making more videos!! I rewatching all the films with a friend of mine right now because he’s never seen them and all that I can say is that if this was in those movies he would probably break down crying because his favorite character from the books is Hermione. Omfg... fuckin fuck... Jesus Christ... best fanfic I’ve ever heard!!!
If only the movies had the courage to make Hermione less than perfect
Pretty good.
But i couldn't help but notice Ozai in there in the beginning.
I don't think putting him in this view is the right way to do so.
In fact, i don't think you should view him as a character at all, but a goal to achieve.
And a catalyst for Aang's hardest choice.
That's kinda the point.
Great video dude just found ur channel and i already love it
Love that outro !! Very good 10/10
also amazing scene, that made me love HP even more than I already do!
_When you realize that he isn't joking and actually has a detailed argument_
The argument still wansn't good. It was predicated on the fact that Uniquenameosaurus apparently does not hate that guy. But millions of people today literally hate him and you can bet that even more of people hated him during World War 2 (especially the actual people he was killing in his concentration camps).
And the next thing you're going to say is "Is that a JoJo reference?"
NANI
I think it would be really sweet if Ron was the one to help her with her spell work, setting up their relationship and you could even bring back the "leviOsa, not levioSA".
I would say that the best thing would be to make it so that Harry would have practically nobody to help him by the time Book 7 kicks in, with all of his allies out of performance. Shows how much Harry can persevere despite losing practically everything.
Volermolt is kinda a bad villain . He gets his ass kicked by the power of love. You could defeat him with the back to the future soundtrack.
I see you with that Futura font choice 😏
Great video.
I think one important factor that makes umbridge hateable is because he cannot openly fight her and while evil, he has to pretend to respect her and bow down his head to her.
This makes everyone boil inside.
4:5 for emotion and passion
